The original Metamec 230V synchronous motor is fitted at the back, complete with the clear vintage power cord and two-pin plug. The clock is in excellent working condition.

Historical context: Metamec was the leading British clock manufacturer during the 1960s, known for their colourful, forward-looking designs reflecting the optimistic Space Age era. Their clocks combined new plastics, bold hues and domed glass fronts, making them decorative icons in thousands of European homes. Provenance: Private European collection NB: Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
